Is democracy still in distress in America?

Of course it is, as long as there are fellows like this out there egging on Islamic extremists, which actually would probably be more likely to inspire domestic terrorists to try to stage an attack that they could blame on Islamic extremists.

Michael Scheuer, there is a special place in hell for you. I do agree, to an extent, with Glen Beck, with the thought that such an attack would not be in any overseas terrorists' best interests at this point in time.

I do not have the time for a long and thoughtful essay at this point, but this is just one example of the type of issues I plan on addressing soon in this blog as I slowly revitalize it. Media issues and political issues, primarily; gossip and hatemongering from the right, political missteps from the right and all the fun that ensues…

Is democracy still in distress in America? Well, it may be healthier than when I first started this blog but, because this is a free country, there will always be threats.

And how is democracy doing around the world? Is it spreading and growing or it is at risk and failing? Or is it changing?
